Nowadays, providing purchasable goods is not enough for a company to survive on the global market. Because of competitive prices and a large range of products available, companies need to offer additional benefits to their customers in order to create a unique selling point. They add services to their product portfolio and offer clients the opportunity to acquire an additional service solution to go with it. The offered services need to fit to the customer's needs, resulting in a variety of available services, great complexity of the service range and decreasing transparency of the resource utilization. This paper addresses the problem by identifying variant-creating factors in product service systems, transferring them into an organizational framework and verifying their significance.
This chapter examines the question of the contribution of smart services for companies and the implications this has for the management of these business models. The chapter starts by outlining the different terminology used to describe smart services and introduces a business-driven view on the digitalization strategy of a company. The characteristic features of digital business models are explained as well as their implications for the management of smart service organizations.
